Children’s and Parent’s Event
Do you Love Children?- Jesus said, Let the little children come to me!
We are BURSTING to tell you about the family ministry model! Research demonstrates that parents are the #1 influencers when it comes to spirituality in young people—yes, even teenagers. The parent’s potential to influence a child dramatically increases when that parent partners with the church.
We are hosting an event for parents and church volunteers to come hear Christie Erwin share with us. Come learn how FUMC Lufkin’s family ministry model will help build an authentic faith in our kids & students through intentional family events, partnering with parents, volunteers and staff. RSVP to pastor@lufkinfirst.com, you will be blessed!
